Deploying Access 2000 Runtime from the web

[Paul]

I have an access 2000 application that I want to deploy on the web. I have
the developer license and runtime. However when I try and install the runtime
from the web (setup.exe or data1.msi) the program starts to install and then
says it can not find several files (.exe and other types).
When I try using InstallShield with a redistributed module, it says the
window wants to close.
My question is is it possible to install Access 2000 runtime from the
internet.
I know it needs to be bundled with my application but I'm just tring to get
it to install. My Application setup installs just fine.
Thanks!

One problem with the Access developers runtime is that you need to
have multiple files which isn't very practical on downloads from a
website.

Albert Kallal has done some excellent work with the free Inno
installer to wrap the Access runtime into one downloadable exe.

Sample inno script which checks to see if a version of Access is
installed. If not it tells you to install a runtime version of
Access. If installed then it continues to install your FE MDE and
other assorted files.'

single .exe
